So who really knew that reindeer were considered food? All those ardent christmas fanatics, close your eyes and shut your ears, the following is not for you!! Rudolph is considered lunch, and dinner, and breakfast and any other meal you can think of, in Lapland ( the concept of which is yet to be explained to me, not that I could understand anyway, my geography skills being what they are). Reindeer are herded and bred and milked and skinned and basically form the basis of an entire life for an whole nomadic people. It's like they're cows or something!!
This fantastic piece of info was, of course, gleaned from watching Anthony Bourdain, chef extraordinaire, and also an adventure eating, foul-mouthed, chain smoking, hilarious New Yorker of French origin. The man loves his pizza as much as his soup made from reindeer blood. And I love the guy. Now, If you are one of the only two people that read my blog regularly, then you might think that I fall in love quite often but, this man is worth mentioning.
Alright then, glad to have brought you this report just in time to spread some Yuletide joy!!
